I think it's works out to be cheaper for everyone when they spend other peoples money
Well except for the person who's money you're spending!
It depends on your credit, really. They know I can pay back any loans, so my interest rate is at the most, for most loans, less than 4%. It's often lower.
If you have shitty credit, you'll have like an 18% interest rate (more on a credit card). So, if your assets are making 7 to 13% and your credit's interest rate is higher than that, it's best to spend your own money.
LoL I figure its best to not spend any money when you're in that situation!
Sometimes you need credit, for a car or a house or school... So, yeah, it kinda sucks to be them. I think my credit card with the highest rate is like 5.5% or something like that. I never actually pay interest on credit cards. I put stuff on the card and then just pay it off entirely when the bill is due. I never make partial payments, so I effectively get free money. I actually do better than that, as I get like 2 to 4% back on my purchases. So, not only am I not spending money, I'm actually getting legit free money.
